Just got back from Musicfest. Killer show. Shortened set as this was a "festival". The entire band was on. Scott's vocals were great. Seemed a bit slurry when he spoke to the crowd. Bib Bang baby was awesoem-big difference from the beginning of the tour. Scott was moving well and really got going during the last few songs. Although he is no longer the madman. Off to bed.

I lost all respect for Avril years ago when she hacked the pronunciation of David Bowie's name.  And she professes to be such a huge punk fan?  Pffft!
Know what I\'m thinking?  No?  Neither do I!  ;Þ

STP performed a truncated version of the same setlist they've stuck with for the 2008 tour, leaving out Coma, Too Cool Queenie, Silvergun Superman and All in the Suit That You Wear. Official setlist is as follows:

* Big Empty
* Wicked Garden
* Big Bang Baby
* Vasoline
* Lady Picture Show
* Loungefly
* Crackerman
* Sour Girl
* Creep
* Plush
* Interstate Love Song
* Down
* Sin
* Sex Type Thing
* Trippin' on a Hole in my Paper Heart
* Dead & Bloated (Encore)

There were various funky improvisational blues type jams, and even sort of a psychedelic one at the end of Creep, thrown in for good measure.

I must say, it was a very solid performance. Scott's vocals were powerful and clear, and he rarely even botched lyrics (only a little bit in the beginning of Big Empty). He didn't seem messed up, and as usual, the rest of the band was ramped up to full throttle.

No deviations in the setlist, but then, I'm pretty sure we've all figured out by now that they are just not doing that on this tour. But for what this 2008 Tour has been about, this was an efficient, representative showcasing.

Overall, it all sounded good, but for some reason Vasoline and Lady Picture Show were really on tonight, even more than usual. Not surprisingly, Sin was again bad ass. They should never leave it out from here on. A bunch of the fans started clamoring to get closer to the stage when Sin began, and it received a warm reception.

Good rock concert. This is about as tight as the 2008 show is going to get.

Girlfriend was my guilty pleasure last year. I LOVE that song. Ha.
Dedicated. Disgusting. Disturbing.

I'm just sittin' on this merry-go-round, and the music is too loud..

I love to hear reviews of the concert like this.  I can't wait to see the band again.
They sell their words but it\'s all a lie . . .

Just wish they would've focused on how awesome the show was and dispensed with the "troubled singer" commentary.

hm. I found a video of BBB from this show on Youtube.. I'd agree it's sounding better than before, though Weiland still seems to shout a lot of it.

Anybody else notice that for the last while he's been singing "it's a gas gas gas" at the end of the chorus, accompanied by exaggerated Mick Jagger dances? heh.

Also, as for the voting thing.. I wouldn't trust that avril came by that victory honestly. anybody read about how she cheated in order to get "girlfriend" to be the most played video of all time on Youtube? Probably the same type of thing at work here, especially judging by what they say about the huge surge of last minute votes. lame.
